Pet care experience

Worry free care when you're away

I've worked with animals my entire life, from my own personal pets to working in pet boarding facilities, grooming salons, pet stores, vets office & volunteering with rescue groups with over 20 years professional pet care experience. I even ran my own pet sitting business for 5 years, which became highly demanding. Thanks to Rover, I'm looking forward to getting back into pet sitting part time as I love caring for all types of animals. I have experience with everything from dogs and cats to exotic animals and even farm animals. I have more than enough experience to care for your pets and home while you're away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets are most comfortable when they can stay in their own environment and follow their usual routine. My goal during drop-in visits is to mirror what they’re used to as closely as possible to reduce stress and anxiety. I take trust seriously when working inside clients’ homes. In addition to pet care, I’m happy to bring in mail or packages and tend to small household needs like watering plants if requested. I approach every visit with respect for both the pet and the home.

Word can’t even begin to describe AJ, he’s not just my dog walker he is apart of our family. I work an extremely demanding job and he has become by baby Sophie’s best friend. The amount of care and detail he puts into every interaction and rover card is a blessing AJ has become a true blessing in Sophie and my life. He has redefined what it means to be a dog sitter. I don’t know what we would do with out him. When you hire AJ you don’t just haute a care giver you hire your own personal angel 💗

Schedule

I’m self-employed and structure my schedule around providing consistent, dependable pet care. Because I manage my own time, I’m able to prioritize visits, maintain routines, and be flexible when pets need extra attention. Pet care is a core part of my weekly routine, not something I squeeze in. I focus on reliability, clear communication, and making sure pets experience as little disruption as possible while their owners are away. My background in client-facing, responsibility-driven work strongly shapes how I approach pet care.

Please let me know anything that helps me care for your pet the way you would — including feeding routines, medications, allergies, mobility considerations, or anxiety triggers. Details about personality, social comfort, and quirks are always helpful. Clear information allows me to provide thoughtful, attentive care and gives you peace of mind while you’re away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
